I just received my book, so while waiting for the DVD on embroidery, I thought I would take a stab (and I do mean stab) at the "stem" stitch. I think I need a longer needle, less thread, consistent size stitches and definitely how to change directions and start. Should have taken the thread to the back to finish I think.
Once I feel comfortable with this, then I can start putting some batiks together. I need to go to Joann's and get some dark for the background and some needles.
Any suggestions are very welcome..................
First try at the "stem" stitch!
